Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
55 words
A ceramic package comprising: a substrate made of a highly thermal conductive ceramic material selected from the group consisting of sintered aluminum nitride and sintered silicon carbide; at least one semiconductor element mounted on the substrate; and a frame made of a mullite sintered body having metal conductive paths therein and joined to said substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
55 words
A ceramic package comprising: a substrate made of a highly thermal conductive ceramic material selected from the group consisting of sintered aluminum nitride and sintered silicon carbide; at least one semiconductor element mounted on the substrate; and a frame made of a mullite sintered body having metal conductive paths therein and joined to said substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A ceramic package according to claim 1, wherein said frame is a multilayer body and said paths have opposite end pads, one of which is connectable to said at least one semiconductor element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
